What it does
Darts works with time series, data recorded over time such as daily sales, energy use or sensor readings. It helps predict what comes next and flag points that look out of the ordinary.
It includes many forecasting methods, from classic statistics to deep learning, and they all work the same way, so it's easy to compare them. It can also combine several models, test them on past data, and take outside factors into account.
Some models can give a range of likely outcomes instead of a single guess.
Who it's for
Data scientists and analysts who build forecasts or monitor data for problems.
